Shannon Slane incorporated CNC milled foam relief elements into this sculptural composition "Connected". The reliefs were created using the heightfield surface displacements in Rhino. The greyscale images were processed in photoshop. It's nice to see this come together in its completed form. This is yet another example of how digital fabrication can be combined and seamlessly integrated into tradiional sculptural processes. To view videos of the elements in progress on the mill visit my youtube channel andrewfscott. They are entitled "crybaby' and cow. A big thank you goes out to Bob Delli Bovi for his help in a pinch this summer.

Course Objective

SCPT 250:

This course explores the relationship between digital tools and sculptural practice. Lectures and hands-on activities are supplemented by 2-D vector based programs, digital photography software and 3-D modeling programs. Students learn how to use the computer as a design tool for sculpture and to prepare files for various outputs.

SCPT 450:

Students explore their own personal visions using digital tools and computer software programs designed for the development of 3-D forms, spaces, objects, sites and processes. Students develop a critical basis for the evaluation of their use and explore the possibilities and implications of digital tools and processes.
